#JustStopOil

🚨#STOPWILLOWPROJECT The Biden administration has approved a controversial $8bn (£6bn) drilling project on Alaska’s north slope, which has drawn fierce opposition from environmentalists and some Alaska Native communities, who say it will speed up the climate breakdown and undermine food security. • The ConocoPhillips Willow project will be one of the largest of its kind on US soil, involving drilling for oil and gas at three sites for multiple decades on the 23m-acre National Petroleum Reserve which is owned by the federal government and is the largest tract of undisturbed public land in the US. It will produce an estimated 576m barrels of oil over 30 years, with a peak of 180,000 barrels of crude a day. This extraction, which ConocoPhillips has said may, ironically, involve refreezing the rapidly thawing Arctic permafrost to stabilize drilling equipment, would create one of the largest “carbon bombs” on US soil, potentially producing more than twice as many emissions than all renewable energy projects on public lands by 2030 would cut combined. • More than 1 million letters were sent to President Biden and petitions gathered more than 4 million signatures. This is a slap in the face. In fact, Biden only shaved off about 8% of the original plan proposed by ConocoPhillips. • It's 2023 and we are already on the verge of destroying Earth in a way that cannot be fixed. By approving this project, we will see an unprecedented amount of lost jobs and homes, sickness, and community displacement. • (Slide 1) #RickFraustoFineArt Greta Thunberg Portrait, 2019 #OriginalDrawing on archival paper Dimensions: 6 X 9 inches • ✍️Source: The Guardian & @genzforchange (slides 2-5) • #TomorrowIsTooLate #JustStopOil #DivestFromFossilFuels (at Teshekpuk Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvOX3Lp924/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Environmental activists affiliated with the Just Stop Oil movement have made headlines once again, this time targeting private jets at a U.K. airfield. The audacious act, which saw two individuals breach security and deface multiple planes with orange paint, raises crucial questions about climate activism, celebrity carbon footprints, and the effectiveness of protest tactics. Environmental Activists Arrested Breaking In, Spraying Up: Just Stop Oil Makes a Statement On the morning of Thursday, June [current date], two Just Stop Oil members, Jennifer Kowalski (28) and Cole Macdonald (22), gained unauthorized access to a private airfield located near Stansted, England. Their objective: to make a bold statement against fossil fuel use by spray-painting parked private jets orange. This action closely followed a similar protest at Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument, on the previous day. The activists employed orange paint, a signature element of the Just Stop Oil campaign. They claim the paint used is cornflower-based and readily washable. However, the act itself sparked immediate controversy, with concerns raised about potential damage to the targeted aircraft. Arrested and Under Scrutiny: Just Stop Oil Faces Backlash Essex police responded swiftly to the Stansted Airport incident, apprehending Kowalski and Macdonald within minutes of the protest. They now face charges of criminal damage and interfering with national infrastructure. This arrest underscores the legal ramifications associated with such disruptive activism. Further scrutiny arose due to the apparent presence of Taylor Swift's private jet at the airfield earlier that day. While the group insists Swift's plane was not their primary target, a social media post alluding to her jet and referencing her song titles suggests some premeditation. Just Stop Oil has yet to clarify its specific intentions regarding Swift's aircraft. This incident reignites the debate surrounding celebrity carbon footprints. A recent study identified Swift as a significant contributor to carbon emissions through her frequent private jet usage. However, Swift's representatives maintain that her plane is often loaned out, and the carbon emissions attributed to her alone are inaccurate. Additionally, they claim she has purchased carbon offsets to mitigate the environmental impact of her travel during her current tour. Fossil Fuels in the Crosshairs: Just Stop Oil's Urgent Plea The Just Stop Oil movement advocates for a drastic shift in global energy policy. Their core demand is for the U.K. government, in collaboration with other nations, to implement a complete ban on fossil fuel extraction and usage by 2030. They believe this drastic measure is necessary to avert a climate crisis. The activists' choice of protest targets – private jets – is a deliberate attempt to highlight the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthy and the environmental cost associated with such luxury. They argue that the current system, allowing extreme wealth accumulation for a select few while jeopardizing the future of the majority, must be dismantled. Beyond Headlines: Evaluating the Impact of Just Stop Oil's Actions The Just Stop Oil protest at Stansted Airport undoubtedly generated significant media attention. However, the effectiveness of this tactic remains debatable. While it has sparked conversation and raised awareness about climate change, concerns remain about potential property damage and the legality of their methods. The activists argue that their actions are necessary to jolt society into addressing the urgency of the climate crisis. They view traditional lobbying and political processes as insufficient. However, some critics argue that their disruptive tactics alienate the public and ultimately hinder their cause. The debate surrounding Just Stop Oil's tactics is likely to continue. Undoubtedly, the group will continue to push for their agenda, raising awareness and urging immediate action to combat climate change.

Based on the search results, there are a few key points regarding how to properly clean and restore an ancient stone monument like Stonehenge:

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning methods:

Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, or high-pressure washing that can damage the porous, ancient stones[3][4]

Mild detergents, soft brushes, and low-pressure water rinsing are recommended for surface cleaning[4][5]

Specialized stone cleaning products like calcium carbonate nodules or fine particle abrasives may be used with care[3]

Thoroughly test cleaning methods first:

Always test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area of the stones first to ensure it does not cause damage[4]

Assess the condition of the stones (mineral deposits, erosion, cracks) to determine appropriate gentle cleaning techniques[4]

Hire experienced professional conservators:

For a monument as significant as Stonehenge, it is crucial to hire stone conservation experts and professionals with experience working on historic sites[4]

They have the specialized knowledge, techniques, and equipment to clean ancient stones safely and effectively

Avoid sealants or coatings:

Sealants are generally not recommended for ancient, porous stones like those at Stonehenge as they can cause unintended damage over time[5]

Thoroughly rinse and dry stones:

Any cleaning residue left on the stones can potentially cause further deterioration, so thorough rinsing with water is essential[4]

The stones must be completely dried after cleaning to prevent moisture penetration and damage[4]

Document and record all conservation work:

Extensive documentation of the cleaning process, including before/after photos, condition assessments, and methods used should be maintained for such an iconic heritage site[3]

The overarching principle is to use the gentlest, least invasive methods possible to clean Stonehenge's prehistoric stones while preserving their integrity. Proper testing, hiring qualified experts, and detailed documentation are critical for responsible conservation of this irreplaceable ancient monument.

Eh, they used cornstarch at Stonehenge - it didn't damage the plant life or rocks and it'll wash off with rain (or a hose I guess if people want to clean it before it rains next). They did it to bring attention to the lichen on the rocks, which is at high risk of dying out with increased temperatures due to global warming. I don't think it worked (and I'm not saying JustStopOil and their techniques are flawless or anything), but the Stonehenge thing was harmless to the site itself.

Omg. Just Stop Oil just broke into the private airfield where Taylor Swift’s private jet was parked and spray painted it orange

Colectivos ecologistas protestan violentando Museos. Tiran pintura encima de los cuadros más famosos de los grandes museos europeos y se pegan a los marcos. Desde hace unos meses, activistas contra el cambio climático de diferentes países actúan coordinadamente para llamar la atención de la opinión pública sobre la urgencia de actuar para proteger el planeta. La mayoría de los grupos que han protagonizado las acciones más mediáticas forman parte de la llamada Red A22 y actúan en Reino Unido con el nombre de Just Stop Oil, en Alemania con el de Letzte Generation o con el de Declare Emergency en Estados Unidos. "No estamos aquí para sensibilizar, suplicar o entretener. Estamos aquí para forzar el cambio necesario para que este mundo continúe existiendo –explican los activistas en su página web–. Estamos aquí para obligar a los gobiernos a reducir drásticamente sus emisiones de CO₂, nada más y nada menos". Ciertamente hoy en día nuestra especie está contaminando el planeta más que siempre, la quema de combustibles fósiles, la excesiva producción de plastico y la industria textil, son algunas de las principales causas. Y como cohabitantes creo que tenemos el deber y la responsabilidad de hacer algo al respecto. Pero es ésta la manera? Que opinas de estos métodos de protesta? vale más el arte o la naturaleza? #juststopoil #climatechange #activist #protest #art #vandalism ‌ (en Avantgarde Tattoo Collective BCN) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6O8c9oD24/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I’ve received a lot of criticism lately for my opinions of these frauds that are attempting to destroy art in the name of saving the planet. So I’ve been researching these groups & I have discovered some interesting facts about them. (1) All of these organizations that have staged these bogus attacks on art are funded largely by #cryptocurrency. Global electricity generation for the crypto-assets with the largest market capitalizations resulted in a combined 140 ± 30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year (Mt CO2/y), or about 0.3% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions. (2) These 2 wonderful pawns in this image belong to an organization called #JustStopOil. Just Stop Oil is largely funded by the Getty Oil Company. Yes this true & can be validated by simply looking up their donors. Could this be a simple attempt by one oil company to drive down the stock prices of their competitors? Possibly. In the end don’t believe attention grabbing false prophets that are as much part of the problem they claim to protest. #ProtectArt & #savetheplanet🌍 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGDYH6uUAF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Birthday @vanessanakate1 🎉 Read her powerful #COP27 statement below👇(Video in my stories) “The IPCC has stated that crossing the 1.5°C threshold will mean devastation and, in some cases annihilation for people all around the world. That's especially true for people who live in climate vulnerable countries, people who have done the least to create the climate crisis. The United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has repeatedly warned leaders that any new investment in fossil fuels would be moral and economic madness". Public spending on fossil fuel subsidies doubled last year. If your country is opening up 100 new oil and gas licenses within the territorial waters around your country, then: you are not a climate leader. If your country is breaking a promise not to finance new fossil fuel development overseas by investing in new gas infrastructare in Africa, then you are not a climate leader. If your country's planned expansion of oil and gas development would, by itself, put the 1.5°C target out of reach then: you are not, a climate leader. But you already know all of this and so do the 636 fossil fuel lobbyists who are here at COP27. Big oil and gas companies, and the leaders who are beholden to them, are not trying to keep 1.5°C alive in this place. They are actually trying to suffocate 1.5 But they do it quietly and slowly so that no one will know until it's too late for all of us. But we will not stand by and let that happen. We will hold those with oil staining their hands and money in their pockets accountable. So l ask each of the leaders here today, will you be on the right side of history? Win you end this /moral and economic madnes"? “ ✍️ Vanessa Nakate ✊❤️‍🔥🙏🌎✊ • #ClimateJusticeNow #ClimateCrisis #DivestFromFossilFuels #FridaysForFuture #ExtinctionRebellion #FireDrillFridays #JustStopOil #YouthClimateStrike #GretaThunberg (at Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_snxiS5xA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just stop oil?

In Ecuador we have the opportunity to do just that. My country could be the first to limit fossil fuel extraction through direct democracy. Can you imagine a world where people peacefully choose not to destroy the world? Can you imagine a future where people decide to protect the future? Can you imagine a present where we decide to leave the oil in the ground? Such a decision would not only allow life to continue to flourish in Yasuní, it would also create a precedent and an inspiration for others to make similar choices: to leave the gold dust inside the mountain, to leave the trees standing, to leave the rain in the aquifers and the rivers.
